Chapter 71: Wonderful Performance

In New York in February, it was cold and windy, like a knife slashing at the face. This left and right knife almost lost the ability to think, and just wanted to hide indoors to avoid the limelight.

Gu Luobei, who was hiding in the phone booth, was barely able to have a shelter from the wind, but what was depressing was that the glass in front of the phone booth was shattered by a pimp, and the glass on the left was also cracked. There was also a phone sniper. The hole left by the shooting of Stu Shepard’s ear, so the humble pavilion was almost unobstructed, with wind knives pouring in from all directions. What’s more, Gu Luobei was wearing a shirt at this time: the suit jacket has been taken off according to the needs of the plot. Even with a few warm babies attached to his body, Gu Luobei still felt that he was being subjected to great torture, and suddenly felt that a “wind shape” could be added to the top ten tortures of the Qing Dynasty. breast.

Avril Lavigne appeared on the scene again, wearing a trench coat to wrap herself tightly. Watching the man in the phone booth kept jumping in place to keep warm, Avril Lavigne couldn’t help but gloat, as if the other party’s pain was her own happiness.

This man is called Evan Bell, and Avril Lavigne finally figured out his name after coming to the street to watch the shooting for the sixth day in a row. But Avril Lavigne never admitted that she came here because she was interested, and she came here to pass the time just because she was bored.

In Avril Lavigne’s view, this movie is quite interesting. The male protagonist receives a threatening call in the phone booth, and his life is in danger at any time. Under such an extremely tense situation, it is not only a severe test of psychology, but also a test of human nature. ‘s test. This kind of thrilling and exciting movie is a good choice to pass the time. Of course, Avril Lavigne, like all street spectators, was curious about the killer’s true face.

In addition to capturing the real reactions of the audience, Joe Schumacher’s second purpose of filming the film came out, which is also the most basic and natural propaganda: to use people’s curiosity to tell the actor’s next move. The most direct dissemination of curiosity and curiosity about the truth of the murderer.

Suddenly, the man named Evan Bell stopped jumping and had a serious conversation with the man oncoming. Avril Lavigne knew that it was the drama executive who walked past, and was talking to Evan Bell about the direction and position of the camera for the next scene. Looks like filming is about to start. Every time at this time, the sincerity and devotion in Evan Bell’s eyes are clearly visible, and Avril Lavigne knows that this is his attitude towards work and the reason why he can be appreciated by everyone in every scene.

At this time, the intersection of Broadway Avenue and 52nd Street has been blocked by the crowd. This is the tenth day of the shooting of “Sniper Phone Booth” at the street intersection. More and more people know that there is a film here. Public shooting, the so-called public shooting means that there is no obstruction or obstruction, and everyone can pass by and watch. This incident even became news for publicity, not only on the entertainment page, but also on the social page. Twentieth Century Fox’s use of Joe Schumacher’s idea is so well done, and the movie is still shooting, so many viewers are interested.

At this time, there were not only crowds, but also police cars at the street entrance, and TV stations used cars for live broadcasts—this is also the plot of the movie. Gu Luobei stayed in the phone booth and didn’t speak. Although the noise of the surrounding crowd was loud, it didn’t affect him much. Years of experience in Broadway, including the experience of Off-Broadway and Off-Broadway, played a huge role at this time. Gu Luobei easily concentrated and devoted himself to it. The next scene is crucial, and it is also a scene that takes the movie up a notch from the ordinary thriller in terms of conception. Gu Luobei hoped that it would be over in one go.

For actors, one-off is not a hard requirement, but if they enter the state, a smooth play is definitely worth a thousand dollars. For Gu Luobei, who has experienced a lot of hard work on the Broadway stage, “one-off” is not a harsh requirement, because every Broadway actor’s appearance must be “once in place”.

So for this scene, Gu Luobei requested an unprecedented 20 minutes of preparation time, and he meditated in the phone booth by himself. Gu Luobei didn’t think about the content of the movie, but kept flashing in his mind Stu Sheppard’s life, from birth to walking into this phone booth. Stu Sheppard’s life entered the most thrilling hour the moment he answered the phone call from the sniper.

It’s about to start! Avril Lavigne suddenly took back her thoughts.

The man in the phone booth was full of despair. His eyes glanced from right to left. Avril Lavigne even looked directly at him for a second. The struggle and fear in her eyes made her take a small step forward.

He bit the thin lower lip, and he could see that the blood on the lips disappeared little by little, the blue and white eyes kept flashing, and after his eyes touched his wife, his eyes deepened. He took a deep look, then moved. The man walked from the wall with his back against the phone booth to the side where the pimp was smashed, his eyes looked in the opposite direction from where his wife was standing, and deep in his heart, he was also ashamed of himself and did not dare to face to the wife.

He raised his voice, the voice line in his throat trembling slightly, “I will never do things for others unless I can use them.” His voice became a little hoarse, a little thin, as if it would be broken at any time, “I Been playing with a kid, I promise I’ll pay him, I’ve been playing with him because he adores me.” The remorse, helplessness and shame that came out of his voice made it almost impossible for him to meet people’s eyes , his eyes are constantly wandering, without any focus, “Adam. If you are watching TV, don’t be PR, you can achieve better.”

The crowd around became silent in an instant. Even though the crew did not make any rules, everyone was attracted by the confession of the man in the phone booth. In front of the whole world – the TV station broadcast truck is broadcasting the current situation in the phone booth at this time, dissecting the dark side of oneself, and putting all the secrets and shame in the depths of the heart in broad daylight, no one wants to do this, this is also The reasons why the right to privacy is so important in modern society. But the man in front of him is doing just that, which undoubtedly brings a triple shock of vision, hearing and mind to everyone.

“I see people talk to people, talk to ghosts, I lie to my friends, I lie to newspapers and magazines, and then they use my lies to deceive more people. I’m a huge lie myself, I’m really him Damn it’s time to run for president.”

No one laughed at this cold joke, and the pedestrians around were shocked by the words of the man in the phone booth. Every word of this man is actually a portrait of himself and every person in society. Avril Lavigne pursed her lips, and she suddenly developed an indescribable admiration for this man, because she saw in his eyes the enlightenment that transcended life and death, and the confrontation at the Lotus Bar that night was not so important. .

“I’m wearing an Italian suit because I feel like a **** in my heart. I think I need this dress, and this watch. This two-thousand-dollar watch is a fake, and so am I. “The voice of the man in the phone booth is full of self-loathing. When people face up to their own inferiority, they will find that they are not as beautiful as they imagined. This made the man’s mood plummet, and he seemed to finally see himself clearly, “I despise all the things I should cherish, I value these stupid things.” The man looked down at his soaked suit, and people tended to say Too much attention is paid to appearance, but in fact, the heart is vulgar, and no amount of gorgeous clothes can hide the temperament determined by the heart, “I took off the wedding ring and called Pan, Kelly, she is Pan.”

The man said to his wife who was not far away, and then pointed to the petite girl standing across the street. The eyes of the wife and Xiaosan instantly met. “Don’t blame her. I never mentioned to her that I was married. If I did tell her, she would let me go home.”

“Kelly, seeing you now, I feel ashamed of myself.” The man’s eyes were already flushed, his voice was choked up, and he couldn’t forgive himself, so how could he beg his wife’s forgiveness? “I mean, the image I’ve worked so hard to create, when in fact, Stu Shepard is a big jerk. He’s completely ignoring who he really is and playing a role that everyone wants to be. . This also proves that I am destined to be hopeless. I keep pretending to be great, but I really can’t take it anymore. I’m so afraid that you won’t like the real me, but that’s who I am, I have flesh and blood and flaws…” Having said that, the man could hardly continue, and the cry overflowed like this, “I really love you so much.”

After that, a dignified man, leaning on the public phone, burst into tears, like a helpless child, “I took off my wedding ring because it reminded me how I hurt your heart. Also There…I don’t want to lose you. I want to try to be a good person, but it’s not my choice. You deserve a better person.”

After saying these words, the man’s face was ashen, tears dripped down his cheeks, he leaned back weakly to the other side of the phone booth, tears streaming down his face.

At this moment, countless people at the scene were silent. Stu – Sheppard’s confession, speaking of himself, why not himself? Under the splendor of everyone in the modern society, how many unknown secrets are there, and what different roles each person is playing, only you know. But no one has the courage to face who he is, despite fears, frustrations, and discouragements like Stu Shepard. This kind of shock, with Gu Luobei’s interpretation, reaches people’s hearts.

“Ka!” Joe Schumacher’s voice broke the almost freezing air above the street. Almost at the same time, all the onlookers at the scene applauded enthusiastically. It was for Stu Sheppard, and it was for Gu Luobei.
